An excellent experience. The refuge was beautiful, I congratulate you on your dedication, the animals are well cared for. The guide was very kind and taught us a lot about the wildlife of Peru. The driver, José, was very helpful and pleasant. Beautiful refuge. Everything 100% recommended.

I loved the goal of the project!
The experience was fantastic! I had the opportunity to see from close and even have direct contact with some of the animals. The guide was super attentive and I learned a lot about local animals.

Unforgettable Animal experience in Peru
This is an unbelievable experience and one of the best things to do from Cusco at a bargain of a price, that all goes towards a great cause too. The sanctuary is aimed at rehabilitating animals and getting them ready to return to the wild, taking in animals from all over Peru, allowing for a great snapshot at the incredible wildlife the country has to offer. Alberto is a phenomenal and enthusiastic guide, the tour allows you to feed many animals and interact with even more. It’s an amazing tour for kids or adults. Can’t recommend this experience enough, and the fact that they offer comfortable pick up and drop off from your hotel in Cusco makes it a can’t miss activity for all of Peru.

Amazing!
Amazing place and people taking care of these animals. Julin̈ho was so kind and obviously cared a lot for the animals. Really interesting day hearing a lot about them, and lots of petting/feeding the animals that were friendly enough to do so. Julin̈ho made sure I saw all the animals as close as possible. The animals seemed happy and well cared for, and there is even a veterinarian there. I recommend this place with all my heart!

This trip changes your vision of the animal world
I first came for a visit because in my work as a natural healer I am deeply involved with animals on our planet. I wanted to see how the wildlife sanctuary is working because I've never had such experience before. Firstly, I was impressed by the beautiful and large space of the sanctuary in the middle of the nature which is the important point for animals wellbeing. It's important to know that all the animals living in the sanctuary were victims of unforgivable human behaviour. They need healthy food, attention and care to feel safe and loved. I was happy to see that the employees of the sanctuary heartfully follow their mission and do whatever is needed for these important beings, our guardians on the planet Earth. I connected with animals spirit at my first visit and I knew immediately that I would soon come back. I came for a week as a volunteer - I wanted to give, to serve but at the end I also received so much knowledge, wisdom and joy. It was a powerful experience which will forever mark my life on a way that I will even more spread the word about our duty to preserve the animal kingdom and educate younger generations how to treat animals. The Cochauasi Animal Sanctuary is a great place of education which is the foundation stone for the future, to live in symbiosis with all the beings. As a volunteer I saw and followed the daily protocoles and tasks which are not easy, so I can say - hats off for the devotion of all the employees. That's why the visit and any kind of donations are so important for the continuity of this noble work.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cusco: visita el centro rescate de animales: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Cusco: visita el centro rescate de animales cost?
+
Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cusco: visita el centro rescate de animales take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.
Is Cusco: visita el centro rescate de animales worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cusco: visita el centro rescate de animales?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cusco: visita el centro rescate de animales suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Cusco: visita el centro rescate de animales?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cusco: visita el centro rescate de animales start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cusco?
+
On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cusco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cusco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
